I do a lot of part-time work to make that moneyyyyy. I love my day job in fashion PR but LA is not a cheap place to live and I have a closet to fill up with shoes that I'll wear once and then never again. (But they make me happy, and that's what matters, I'm told.) This weekend's job was seating at... The Daytime Emmy Awards. Yeeessss. Yes. Days of Our Lives crew and cast, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, and all the other daytime soaps crew and cast showed up at Warner Bros for their Emmy chance.

Tbh I didn't recognize any of them as I haven't seen a daytime soap since approx 1997 but Tyra Banks hosted and it was fairly intimate and quaint. Not what I would have expected from something with Emmy in the title, but I guess they scale it down for the soap stars.

I walked away feeling like I had a lot to learn about daytime tv, so maybe my next step in life is to take a week to watch every Young and the Restless episode. Just maybe.

I turned 25 out in the desert earlier this week. I had never been to Palm Springs before -- in fact, until last year I thought Palm Springs was a lush, watering hole (it sounds like it should be!!) -- so the acres of sand and quiet isolation caught me off guard. I can see why LA folk like to retreat there so often. It's a welcome change from the helicopters and car alarms I hear out my window every night.
